   In 1861 a guy named Semmelweis published the findings from a study he performed. He required medical students and doctors to wash their hands in chlorinated water before attending delivery of babies. The mortality rate of women cared for by these providers dropped from 18% to 2%.

   His theory of transmissible disease carried on the hands of doctors was dismissed by colleagues. He was comitted to an asylum, beaten by the guards, and died of sepsis weeks later.

   RFK is those fucking guys.

     @mcnado The thing that drives me positively wild is that YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST GET A MICROSCOPE AND SEE GERMS YOURSELF!

     All these people floating ridiculous "alternate theories" (misusing the word theory to instead mean "baseless claim" rather than theory) that it's all other things could literally just buy freaking microscopes.

     Heck, if they think someone is magically beaming fake images into them, they could make their own microscopes. It's ultimately just lenses. It can be done.
